*** K-State getting a 7 seed over OU ***
---------------------------------------------
Cats advatages over OU
1.  finished 3rd to OU's 4th in conf
2. finished one game ahead in standings
3.  Beat OU in Norman
4.  Ksu has 2 top 25 rpi wins.  OU has none

Sooners advantages over us
1. They have 3 non con  top 50 wins to our zero
2. Their RPI is 25 to ours being 44
3. good road wins at Tech, Baylor and and W Virginia

I have us barely and i meen barely ahead of OU.  If one of us makes the semis and the other does not........ that could be the difference to decide who has the higher seed in the NCAA

Big 12 quick look ---

1. Texas.  The Horns could get a 1 seed if they win the Big 12 tourney.   I think they are the top 2 seed right now.   They won't drop any lower than a 2 seed IMO

2. ku.   Squawks could get a 1 seed if they win the Big 12.... but that is not a lock.  They are the 2nd best 2 seed right now.  They will be either a 1 or 2 in NCAAs

3. K-State.  I think we will be a 7 or 8 seed.  A chance we could slip to a 9 seed if aTm beats us.... but a 9 is our lowest possible.  Could get a 6 seed if we advance to B12 finals

4. OU .  Same boat as Ksu.  A loss to Baylor and i still think OU is a 8 or  a 9 at the very worst.  Could get a 6 if they make B12 finals

5.  Baylor is the 5th team to be a Big 12 lock.   Even a CU upset and they would be in.  A 8/9 seed is likely.   Might be able to get a 7 seed if they made B12 semis.

6. aTm just needs to avoid a loss to Iowa St.  That would place them either on the "last 4 in" or "last 4 out".   Right now, they are a 10/11 seed.
